XAMPP Lite, Windows Vista, and php5apache2_2.dll
I recently ran into a nightmare when needing to use my father's laptop for development. My XAMMP Lite USB install, which worked perfectly on my Windows XP desktop, was giving the following error when trying to start Apache:
apache.exe: Syntax error on line 477 of E:/xampplite/apache/conf/httpd.conf:
Syntax error on line 7 of E:/xampplite/apache/conf/extra/httpd-xampp.conf:
Cannot load E:/xampplite/apache/bin/php5apache2_2.dll into server: The specified module
could not be found.
After 20 minutes of frustration, I finally found the golden solution. I needed to download and place msvcr71.dll in my \xampplite\apache\bin folder. Apparently it's a Microsoft runtime file that Vista doesn't have. Disaster averted!

I think thats a DLL that gets installed with .NET.
